PowerRename - Invert Selection #36061

Open cory-github opened 3 days ago

cory-github commented 3 days ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Having the ability to invert the selected items would be really handy

Scenario when this would be used?

When loading a folder into powerrename and inputting a selection for a rename, sometimes it only applies to half the files so I uncheck half the files. If you then had an option to say Invert selection, and then just modify the parameters, it would be so much faster.

example, you have files starting with 1., 2., 3, ... 10., 11., 12., ... So I might want to rename the "1." (through 9.) to "S01E01.", and the "10." (through 20. or 99.) to "S01E10", currently when I load all files I check the boxes for 1-9 and do the rename, then uncheck those boxes and check the other boxes. I know you could go into the folder as well and only select the 1-9 files and load into powerrename, then close out and go back in after selecting the rest. But it would just be so much faster to have this Invert Selection, much like windows explorer has, and it would make things quicker.
